Can I still wear an oversized watch?

14 best new menswear items in the world this week

Every week, we get to see the coolest products hitting the menswear market before anyone else - and of course, as committed clothes fans, we have our favourites. Here's a selection of the very best items launching this week that we think you should add to your wardrobe ASAP...

Things are getting punky in menswear over the next couple of seasons, so you'll be seeing far more carrot-fit, cropped-style denim coming into shops. These new Krooley jeans from Diesel totally exemplify the vibe, with light distressing and that bang-on-trend, relaxed-to-tapered shape. Wear with Doc Martens for max effect. £170. diesel.com

To celebrate its 50th Anniversary, the company's vice president and son on the co-founder, Steve Van Doren, has curated a reissued collection of some of Vans' most famous styles. We particularly like these ones of 1998. Aloha! £50. vans.co.uk

In his quest to re-invent Abercrombie & Fitch, the new men's creative director Adam Levine has gone into the archives for inspiration. The result is the 1892 collection, a capsule line based on the brand's heritage - and these texture-rich, raw selvedge, straight leg jeans are a particular highlight. If you want some, click over to the site sooner rather than later - the style's limited to only 1000 pairs. £160. abercrombie.co.uk

Ok, so this isn't strictly menswear - but these new Bluetooth headphones, with their eye-catching, oversized metallic ear buds will sure make your suit that little more luxe-looking on the commute. £155. farfetch.com

San Francisco streetwear icon Golden Bear has teamed up with one of Britain's coolest independent clothes shops to collaborate on a new version of the brand's stadium jacket. The result is downright superb, cut from thick patches of Melton wool in contrasting shades of orange, navy and moss green, with leather-lined pocket openings and a winter-friendly quilted lining. £385. couvertureandthegarbstore.com

Paulin is a Glaswegian watch company is making a name for itself thanks to its minimalist, UK-designed timepieces, kitted out with Japanese quartz movements and straps cut from British-tanned leather. The brand only offers two models right now, but we think that the sleek'n'simple Commuter A is a real winner. £180. paulinwatches.com

We're firm believers that a man can't own too many Breton shirts - but if you're just kicking off your collection, this striped, sailor neck, long-sleeve shirt in AG's new Indigo Capsule Collection is a great place to start. It's just arrived exclusively at Selfridges, so set a course to the London flagship as soon as you can. £185. selfridges.com

Noted notecard-maker Smythson is expanding its leathergoods line by getting into the hand-luggage game. This Greenwich carry-on bag, cut from hardy lacquered cotton (designed exclusively for Smythson) and kitted out with a plethora of pockets, is quite possibly the most perfect overnight business trip bag out there. £1,295. smythson.com

Scents are currently sitting on the sweeter side right now for men - and for a masterclass, look no further than Byredo's latest release. The Swedish perfumer's new Cuir Obscur eau de parfum combines amaretto and nutmeg with rose, leather, and musk for a sweet-yet-superbly-masculine fragrance - and it's just landed exclusively at Harrods. Get it before it's gone. £135 for 100ml. harrods.com

Also big for autumn: trousers elasticated waists. Forget those ones your granddad wear, the models arriving in stores right now are supremely smart - and this Herringbone wool-mix pair with a slim-cut and cargo pockets are some of the most versatile around. £50. native-youth.com

Just because an item's a menswear classics doesn't mean it doesn't benefit from a tweak now and again. Case in point, Kit & Ace's new polo shirt, which is not only cut from beautifully soft technical cashmere, but comes with a zip placket and round collar fitted as standard. £85. kitandace.com

A flannel shirt is an autumn essential - and this lively jacquard one, fresh in from Spanish brand Scalpers, is a cool way to slip some Seventies colour under your workwear. Get one online or visit the new shop on Carnaby Street£100. scalpers.es
